Who and What is SKIP?
 
 

 

The American Institute On Domestic Violence (AIDV) has made a commitment to the safety of all children and their families. Every parent's worst nightmare is the disappearance of a child. In today's society with over one million children being reported missing each year, the problem cannot be ignored.

"SKIP, our Safe Kids Identification Program, is designed to give families a measure of protection against this devastation.
SKIP is the most comprehensive child identification package currently available. It includes much more than a child's fingerprints and photograph. SKIP also captures each child's individual characteristics and mannerisms. SKIP obtains DNA samples and a tracking scent for use with police search dogs in the event the child becomes lost or missing.

AIDV is collaborating with other missing child organizations in creating a network to assist with the AMBER Alert System and the National Center For Missing and Exploited Children. Our mutual goal is to reunite these children with their families. "

A solution, probabily too advanced for Switzerland, whose Police don't want to initiate the Amber Alert System...
